Sometimes being a football fan is really hard. You want to support your team 100%, no matter what is going on, but it’s not always easy. Especially when you are from one state but live and work in another. I was born and raised in Minnesota and will always be a lifelong Vikings fan, but the Packers have always been my number two team. That probably makes me a rarity, as most Vikings fans dislike the Packers. I suppose being a fan of both teams is an easy out for me, allowing me to be a fair weather fan of either team, depending on how they are doing. That would be fair to assume. I guess you could call this a mental border battle.
Opening week of the 2024 season went a little better for the Vikings than the Packers. But if you know the Packers, this will not be a deterrent. They are going to get up, dust themselves off, and start winning games. And if they don’t, I can always fall back on my Minnesota Vikings disappointing me later in the season.
Go Vikes! Go Pack!
